Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy

You are here

On October 28, 2013, the governors of Oregon, Washington, California, and the premier of British Columbia announced they had agreed to a set of shared goals for the region to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, called the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy.

Although the plan is not legally binding, it says that Oregon will, among other things, set a price on carbon emissions, establish a target for reducing carbon emissions, encourage the use of zero-emission vehicles and the design of "net-zero" buildings.
